I think Tony Correia Afonso makes a specious argument when he says: "I agree with Cornel that Arafat may have been corrupt, but who are the Americans to judge him?"
I do not think that it is only the Americans who have accused him of such a crime. There have been many Palestinians who have also made similar accusations. And the accusation of corruption has been made while Arafat was alive, and the case of a pension for his wife is only one of the many things that people in Palestine are not happy about.
However, we should not end up saying that because the Americans say that so-and-so is corrupt, the person is not corrupt.
As far as Tony's comment on Haliburton is concerned, I agree with him that it smacks of corruption.
